>Oct 17 (Reuters) – The European Union prepared to slap sanctions on Iran on Monday over a human rights crackdown and several ministers warned of separate, new sanctions if Tehran’s involvement in Russia’s war on Ukraine was proven.
>The EU ministers are set to impose travel bans and freeze the assets of some 15 Iranians involved in the government crackdown that began last month against demonstrators outraged by the death in police custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.
>Additional EU sanctions on Iran will not be limited to blacklisting some individuals should Tehran’s involvement in Russia’s war on Ukraine be proven, Luxembourg’s Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn said.
>France and Germany, both parties to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, have made it clear they believed new sanctions in connection to the drones used by Russia were necessary given that such transfers violated a resolution by the U.N. Security Council.
>The EU could decide to move towards imposing new sanctions against Iran over the matter, according to two diplomats involved in preparing talks among the ministers, though no detailed decisions were expected on Monday.

Are we living in a parallel universe?
By the way … one of the voices representing the protestors in Iran is asking for this since long time ago
>”**Don’t think that I am coming to you** or western governments, Biden administration, European parliament **to come to and save us … NO … I want you to stop saving the regime of Iran.** That’s all I want. We are brave enough, the women inside Iran brave enough to bring this regime down …”
Quite a difference in the Iran protestors discourse, not just in action, compared with the Russian liberals who accused Europe of Russophobia for almost every sanction package and every single tourist visa ban.
but up til now they have been helping iran along with its nuclear weapons program. makes good sense.
